Shouldn't need to looking at where is is sitting on just above the towing eye.
Though if you go off road, you will still have the same issue getting it clean if part is that low and you go through water.Mark.

....was just thinking of the "flow" as there will be a couple of 90 degree bends needed?
The standard IC points out towards the rear - just like this one, so shouldn't be any more bends - but if it is mounted higher up, then I'd agree!Mark.

£113 is for nothing considering there's intercooler hose that's more than that.

Its not in yet. Not had a chance to pull the front of the car to bits yet.
I do have some time off between Xmas and New Year. Will need to speak to wifey nicely and squeeze in some D3 time in between. I think I have overcome the problem of mounting it (hopefully) and will be ordering some silicone reducers tonight
Would really like a before and after Dyno run too, to see what difference it actually makes My D3 Build Thread

And good for an extra 10bhp or so it would seem, on an otherwise standard TDV6
I has to unbolt the whole rad pack and trim the front end of the chassis rails to fit mineMy D3 Build Thread
